Investment bankers ranting and raving about the FriendFinder IPO


By James Gwildermen

Dec. 24, 2008 (Market Press) – As many are celebrating Hanukah and Christmas Wall Street executive on all level are celebrating the announcement of FriendFinders IPO.

Michael Hillberger a well known stock market analyst and father of 3 was recently served with divorce papers after his wife found a friendfinder owned website in is internet history file, the divorce will cost him over $56 million dollars and that is greater than the annual income friend finder has.

In a recent phone interview Mr. Hillberger said “I wish they would have announced this IPO months ago, I would have been able to tell my wife I was researching the FriendFinder company”.

His voice is echoed all over Wall Street as executives scrambled to open AdultFreidnFinder accounts without the fear of being caught by their wives. Harry Goldstein a managing partner at Goldman, Grossberg, Hirshfed & Katzenbogen claims that now is a great time for women who are seeking Wall Street Executives to create profiles on the FriendFinder Network.

Mr. Goldstein claims that his first attempt on the AdultFreindFinder site was very successful; In a recent Interview he said “This girl claimed she is seeking a quick fling with any guy or girl regardless of his or her looks” this sounded perfect for him as he is your typical Investment Banker 5’4 290lbs with a combover, Within minutes of her seeing his photo he got a email from [email protected] stating “My name Irena I love you photos me very shy I want travel to U.sA I am student can you help kindly please with expense ticket I can email you my infos for western union”. After talking with her on the phone he said “the girl is obviously in love with me her photos are amazing her voice is a bit thick because she has a cold but I sent her an undisclosed amount thru western union and hope to meet her soon”.

This is the first company to go public since the start of the stock market that does not have to explain who they are or what they do as every executive on Wall Street is very familiar with the name AdultFriendFinder a Social Networking website, wink-wink .

Jim Cramer from Mad Money will be adding a new sound effect to his sound board that will play a “Girl having sex and moaning” sound when he refers to the FriendFinder IPO and Stock.

Mr. Goldstein claims that his first attempt on the AdultFreindFinder site was very successful; In a recent Interview he said ?This girl claimed she is seeking a quick fling with any guy or girl regardless of his or her looks? this sounded perfect for him as he is your typical Investment Banker 5?4 290lbs with a combover, Within minutes of her seeing his photo he got a email from [email protected] stating ?My name Irena I love you photos me very shy I want travel to U.sA I am student can you help kindly please with expense ticket I can email you my infos for western union?.

:1orglaugh

I wonder if it's because "she" is really a he. :thumbsup

Hang on I just solved the riddle of why the Financial crisis happened.

?the girl is obviously in love with me her photos are amazing her voice is a bit thick because she has a cold but I sent her an undisclosed amount thru western union and hope to meet her soon?.

This guy "Michael Hillberger a well known stock market analyst" sent money via WU to Russia in the hope of meeting someone. With stock market analysts like him is it any wonder we are all in the toilet? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

What a brilliant fellow Mr Goldstein is.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

This part is a joke right?? lol
WG

Nope...... thats how they express their love through use of western union. Its kind of a mating ritual over there in her part of the world. She is definitely in love and 100% genuine.

I love mispellings and grammar issues... mmmkay.

see, and that's why the banking system is in trouble - it's full of idiots

classsssic

This does not look like a real news story. Probably from a satire news site like the onion.

here is a story on it, it doesnt look good.

boehoee... we are loosing so much money. What do you expect with these dumbos.

I thought it would be obvious that I made this shit up

:-)

happy holidays

AFF is a joke.


Almost $30 million net losses.. :1orglaugh


And like I said before, they are like 200 employees.

Plentyoffish is ONE single guy and he makes millions NET.


THIS GUYS IS GOOD........... 200 vs. 1

:upsidedow

This is the article I quote btw.

"Marketers like to say that sex sells. FriendFinder Networks, in search of cash to pay off nearly $400 million in debt"

Who the hell would want to buy that IPO. Its going to tank almost instantly

So if the IPO is a bust, does AFF go under?

I love this quote from the article

"The company, however, warned that it has a lot of competition and a history of losing money."

Wow, that's quite a sales pitch.

Very Interesting

Haha nice!
I can't believe anyone in this thread though this was a real article hehe

I would think that it would be a good thing for the adult industry overall if AFF failed.

AFF Fails = Lots of tube sites scrambling for scarce revenue sources.

so the paid dating is some kind of bubble? obviously not, if Match.com is making some coin...
I dont get it, how they arent able to have net earnings? is there some blackhole? or all those 100 or 75 PPS actions have ruined them?

So it looks like that brosclub werent right, when they were telling to sheeps (us), that AFF is cashcow...I hope they will go BK and will really enjoy to short their stock.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Bad news for all the illegitimate tube and torrent sites with stolen content. Looks like that advertising pay day might not last. If anything, those pre-paid spots that are overpriced for traffic that is almost useless is a big chunk of fat that needs to be cut to make AFF profitable.

Match.com has -real- females on it.

That's gotta be a joke...

I assumed it was from the Onion or something. Nicely written. The average GFYer is so naive..

Lars must be happy.

:)

exactly!

Where do you think PH got the 500 or so million to buy the company? They just pulled the cash out of a drawer?

Most likely their debts are to the former owners.

AFF will have tons of potential shareholders
- Net loss $29.9 million in 2007
- Net loss $32.3 million in 2008 first nine months

:2 cents::2 cents:

It's GFY, you know.....

If AFF goes under, does that mean the illegitimate tube sites wont have any more cash flow, and they will go under?

I don't think so, there are enough "programs" left to sponsor that shit. And many big tubes are owned already by "sponsors"

buhhahah i should ask some money on WU :)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Yes, but there won't be nearly as much money going around. AFF proves that a $100 PPS is not a sustainable business model. The tube sites will see their income drop 90% and make it much less lucrative.

Seriously you guys need to buy a clue about tubes and conversions, NOTHING converts off tubes, ZERO NADA, they are going nuts trying to turn it into money, a tube with 4 mil hits a day sends maybe 800 hits to a sponsor and 4 mil hits a day on a site full of video = HUGE BW bills

:1orglaugh

People can be sooo stupid.

Sure thing.. so why are they up still?

Since when being "still up" means they are profitable?

Try to take a look around (not even going to say to look into internet related businesses, but rather what shows on a daily basis on the news)...gezzz :1orglaugh
